Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design and evaluate systems and networks to resolve specialised telecommunications network problems.

It applies to individuals who analyse, calculate and solve complex mathematical engineering problems for advanced telecommunication systems requiring numerical simulation.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Use advanced engineering mathematics for a range of complex engineering solutions

1.1 Solve mathematical functions using complex trigonometric ratios

1.2 Solve mathematical functions using manipulation of matrices and determinants to perform standard calculations

1.3 Solve trigonometric functions using operations on complex numbers

1.4 Solve complex functions using integral and differential calculus

1.5 Solve mathematical functions using ordinary differential equations (ODE)

1.6 Solve mathematical equations using Laplace transforms

1.7 Solve mathematical problems using algorithmic control structures

1.8 Use software simulations where possible to produce simulated calculations for a range of engineering solutions

1.9 Analyse results from the simulated solution and compare to the derived solutions to adjust any variables in the calculation process

2. Design a simulation control system with queues

2.1 Design a simple control system using simulation software

2.2 Design a queuing system using simulation software

2.3 Design a stochastic system using simulation software

2.4 Document and present all numerical software simulations for the engineering problems

Evidence of ability to:

solve a range of complex mathematical functions related to telecommunications engineering

use software systems to produce simulations of mathematical solutions

analyse results of software simulations

design telecommunications systems using software simulations

document and present software solutions for engineering problems.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

analyse and manipulate functions using symbolic and numerical software, including operations of entering and manipulating polynomials in suitable software and then substitution of values and graphing

analyse and manipulate matrices and determinants, numerically with and without symbolic and numerical software

design and debug programs using algorithmic control structures and output results to the screen, a graph and a file

analyse and manipulate complex numbers numerically and with symbolic software

determine and manipulate equations using advanced calculus operations of differentiation and integration numerically and with symbolic software

determine and manipulate equations of the type called ordinary differential equations (ODE) met in telecommunications engineering applications numerically and with symbolic software

determine and manipulate Laplace transforms met in telecommunications engineering applications numerically and with symbolic software

design a simulation control system and simulate queues using software.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances should be typical of those experienced in the telecommunications networks engineering field of work and include access to:

networked computers

simulation software

relevant documentation

a range of industry scenarios or workplace examples.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
